CROKER WILL MAKE CARNEGIE HALL DEBUT MARCH 26, 2022 – TICKETS HERE

(MARCH 18, 2022 — NEW YORK, NY) – GRAMMY®-nominated trumpeter, composer, producer, and artist THEO CROKER today debuts his LIVE IN PARIS EP. Available everywhere now, the three-track collection includes live versions of “Where Will You Go” from his latest critically-acclaimed album BLK2LIFE || A FUTURE PAST as well as two covers of “Fair Trade” by Drake and “UMI Says” by Mos Def. Recorded in Paris during an international tour in support of BLK2LIFE || A FUTURE PAST, today’s release features Theo on trumpet and providing vocals for “Where Will You Go” and “UMI Says.” Accompanying Live in Paris is a video of Theo performing “Where Will You Go” live in studio.

Of the new live tracks, THEO CROKER says, “I wanted to highlight what fans can expect to hear from me on tour – how my band and I incorporate elements of my latest studio album into the live show, and how we can take material from any genre to fit into whatever setting we’re playing in. I chose to play some tunes from the hip-hop idiom, bringing them back into the improvisational space. We put an instrumental twist on Drake’s ‘Fair Trade,’ and then with Mos Def’s ‘UMI Says’ I started showing more of my vocals. It’s a song that Mos Def doesn’t perform live, so I wanted to give people a version of it aside from the original that they can rock to. With ‘Where Will You Go,’ I wanted to include a song from BLK2LIFE || A FUTURE PAST that people recognize, bridging the gap between my new music and some hip-hop classics.”

TRACKLIST:

1 – “Where Will You Go”
2 – “Umi Says” (Mos Def)
